Skull

Skull
Probably from a sheep. Another image from Butser Hill ancient village in Hampshire.

The skull was fixed into the thatch above the door of a roundhouse, probably to discourage evil spirits.

Nice one Keith. They were very superstitious back in those days and had many rituals that would seem strange to us now.

Oh, that's a grand shot, and it definitely has a primitive flavor. Fabulous textures!

Der Schädel befindet sich wohl schon länger dort und bietet den Flechten einen neuen Lebensraum. Ich mag dieses rustikale Motiv. Gut gesehen und präsentiert, Keith!
